 This book was a sweet listen.  Two ladies who fall in love on the subway, but destined to be apart until the time gap can be filled.  Yes this is a time travel novel.  I didn;t expect that, and while that is one of my least favorite tropes, here it works.  Jane is stuck.  She has been stuck on the Q train for over 40 years, but does not realize that time has passed.  August is cynical, and trying to find the meaning of life, and a path for her future.  She had an interesting childhood which has left her closed off, and warry around cute girls.  This was a fun romp of a romance.  Sometimes it felt too long and drawn out but in the end it was worth it.  The surrounding cast of characters are a riot.  It feels like boho New York has come to life between the pages.  Overall this was a fun read.  Casey McQuinton is on a hot streak.
